How To Install Kali Linux in PC | Full Guide - 15 Easy Steps With Pictures

Hi Shouter, Welcome to Shoutxp. So, Today's article is about Kali Linux Hard Disk Installation process. In our previous article, We wrote about What is Kali Linux & Uses of Kali Linux - Click Here to read. So lets start.



Installing Kali Linux on your computer is an easy process. First, you’ll need compatible computer hardware. Kali is supported on i386, amd64, and ARM (both armel and armhf) platforms. The hardware requirements are minimal as listed below, although better hardware will naturally provide better performance. The i386 images have a default PAE kernel, so you can run them on systems with over 4GB of RAM. Download Kali Linux and either burn the ISO to DVD, or prepare a USB stick with Kali Linux Live as the installation medium. If you do not have a DVD drive or USB port on your computer, check out the Kali Linux Network Install .



Requirements:

  • Minimum 10GB Disk Space.
  • For i386 and amd64 architectures, a minimum of 512MB RAM.
  • CD DVD / USB 

Preparing For Installation

Installation Procedure

1. To start your installation, boot with your chosen installation medium. You should be greeted with the Kali Boot screen. Choose either
Graphical or Text-Mode install. In this example, we chose a GUI install.


2. Select your preferred language and then your country location. You’ll also be prompted to configure your keyboard with the appropriate keymap.


3. Specify your geographic location.


4. The installer will copy the image to your hard disk, probe your network interfaces, and then prompt you to enter a hostname for your system. In the example below, we’ve entered “kali” as our hostname.


5. You may optionally provide a default domain name for this system to use.


6. Next, provide a full name for a non-root user for the system.


7. A default user ID will be created, based on the full name you provided. You can change this if you like.


8. Next, set your time zone.


9. The installer will now probe your disks 
and offer you four choices. In our example, we’re using the entire disk on our computer and not configuring LVM (logical volume manager). Experienced users can use the “Manual” partitioning method for more granular configuration options.


10. Select the disk to be partitioned.


11. Depending on your needs, you can choose to keep all your files in a single partition — the default — or to have separate partitions for one or more of the top-level directories. If you’re not sure which you want, you want “All files in one partition”.


12. Next, you’ll have one last chance to review your disk configuration before the installer makes irreversible changes. After you click Continue , the installer will go to work and you’ll have an almost finished installation.


13. Configure network mirrors. Kali uses a central repository to distribute applications. You’ll need to enter any appropriate proxy information as needed.


14. Next, install GRUB.


15. Finally, click Continue to reboot into your new Kali installation.

Now you will se "Installation Complete" Message ✔
